"Blood Sausage" is normally called "Black Pudding" in The UK.
We know what it's made of, and don't need reminding. ( I'm like it with haggis too. I don't like offal of any kind, but I love haggis🤷)
ALWAYS called black pudding
and the best lancashire black pudding, made with fresh blood, is one of Britain's best products, fried crisp and sprinkled over perfect runny poached eggs on buttered wholemeal toast. perfect.
To make it more paletable than BLOOD Sausage :D
I don’t know why he said blood sausage when it would clearly say black pudding on the pack.
“What kind of sausage do you use?”
The kind that hasn’t been left on the plate for 20 minutes getting cold.
🤣🤣🤣👍
Should use tinned tomatoes and Lincolnshire or Cumberland sausage
Lincolnshire / Cumberland or if I'm in the veggie mood, Linda McCartney Red Onion and Rosemary sausages.
@@adrianmartin4011 nah heck
@@adrianmartin4011 IMO the best sausages for a fry up are the cheap " canteen " style ones u get from work canteens or cheap cafes, dont know what brand they are or anything ,but its like the best and u know its cheap but theyre the best
when she flipped that egg i lost the will to live
There are some American things I will just never understand...
Americans do eat their fried eggs like us, they call it Sunny side up, I think you would have to ask them to cook it this way if you were in America.
Part of my self esteem left me for watching it
Try putting all that in a big bap. Lots of builders have that as their staple 😋 Also I like to add potato cakes on ocassion to my fry up. Watch a TH-cam on how black pudding is made 😋🤣
Our fried eggs are called “Sunny side up”
I can’t believe no one has said this. But you need to have a bit of everything in one bite. It’s heaven. The mix of egg yolk and beans is incredible - EDIT - PLEASE don’t eat things individually, you have to mix items
Thank you, was really irritating me seeing them eat one thing at a time, put abit of everything on your folk
facist !. ya can eat the bleeding thing how ever you deem fit, Gypo. been known to have 2 door steps, lobbed the lot inside, and make a right pig o' misself. x
aye, missed an s out, Gypo. ( afore yee strangle me). love the crack.
I'm from the north of England and would have had thick white fried bread instead of toast!
We'll have to try that next!
Yes, a "fried slice" (as they call it in some parts of the country) is a must.
Fried bread is fairly common all over the country, not just in the north.
I buy sliced gluten free white bread for fried bread. A good way to cook the mushrooms is to slice them and fry in butter. It gives them an extra nice taste.
I have always cooked sausages in the oven and bacon under the grill.
Your meal looked good. I don't like black pudding so avoid that.
I sometimes use the fried breakfast as an evening meal. But I love it.
I like putting the egg on the fried bread and eat them together.
Best wishes
@@rachelpenny5165 Correct! Egg on the bread, bacon on top.
The ultimate, absolutely best way to experience a fry-up, is to have someone else prepare it!
A really good 'greasy-spoon' cafe fry-up is really hard to beat!
Especially when you have a hangover.
💯 Facts.
@@nigelpayne1236 Spot on.
100% on someone else, that's the whole point! I generally only have a cooked breakfast on holiday.
@@nigelpayne1236 Yes, it has saved my bacon (pun intended) a few times.
You can grill most of it for a healthier approach and never flip your egg, never hot sauce, always fried bread not toast and eat hot not cold 😁
nah, you fry that shit into oblivion, thats a real english breakfast
I think you're over analysing it. just pile in the pig products and consume... and don't try to Americanise it with hot sauce.
They did a good job to be fair.
But I agree just slap everything in the pan, just make sure the eggs are last
I always do bacon last. I hate cold bacon and black pudding will not touch my lips again, bad eperience when young ... it involved a dinghy and chef hat
Mustard or ketchup, all day. Or brown sauce I guess but not personally a fan 🤣
You've missed the best bit, a slice of fried bread is essential!
Make sure its fried in butter
Can't say I'm overly fussed on the fried front tbh :/
@@garycollumbell1396 I think I don't get it fried in butter. Cos when I have had it, its fucking terrible
Agree with fried bread, more traditional. Both sides of white bread slices takes care of any remaining grease.
Yes fried bread in butter
Why are are you calling it blood sausage when it says on the packet it's black pudding and you know it's black pudding? It's black flipping pudding !
🤣🤣🤣
i dont understand why either its really frustrating
potato potato
Because in America that would be called racist 😂 society has really gone downhill.
Why is it racist, if something is black then it’s black, it’s only a sausage
‘I think we might have burned some things’
Yes that is the correct way to cook a fry up. Good job 👍
Its OK if that's the case can often add to the taste
Keep everything you’ve cooked onto a warmed plate and pop into a warm oven x
I always say rather than it's burnt is "its caremalised" especially the sausages they are so much better when they go a little "caremalised"
You undercooked everything. And fry the bread! Fried bread is amazing
Often called a fried slice.
Eggy bread is better
I'd want fried bread and toast.
Hot sauce on an English breakfast is against the law... Brown sauce goes on ur meats. If you don't like Hp then daddies is an OK alternative imo.
That wasn't a bad attempt at cooking a breakfast... By no means perfect but a good try.
Once a month as a treat as there are 8 million calories in a cooked breakfast
Not at all, I always have a hot sauce on my eggs... Tabasco usually, absolutely lovely...
Also I try and cook it healthier by grilling/oven cooking the sausages ( Cumberland for me normally ) and bacon ( definitely smoked ), fried and sometimes poached eggs, black pudding, beans (sometimes) hash browns and mushrooms also... tomato sauce also for me, with toast and a nice cup of red bush tea... 👌🏽
Are you using low calorie ingredients? My full english has at least 10 miliion calories. Every Sunday morning for me - when I dont need to do anything like move for the rest of the day.
@@marklang7486 I use low fat sausages sometimes (when my wife makes me) 👍
@@jamesanthony3072 I never said nobody did it i just said it was against the law... I can confirm I have reported you on the crimewatch TV website so you can expect a visit from armed police any day now.
@@MrAshtute I feel your pain brother.
You were doing pretty well until you added the hot sauce. Don't get me wrong, I like hot sauce, just never on a full English
It's good man. I've been doing this for years. Try a sweet chilli sauce -- you may never go back to Ketchup!
@@annother3350 I was in a chip shop the other day and the guy in front of me squirted sweet chilli sauce all over his Fish & Chips. It's a good job social distancing was in place or I wouldn't have been responsible for my actions! 😂
@@MatgoStyles You're not going to like this then -- I've got addicted to sweet chilli sauce on a Full English Breakfast -- it really works!
@@annother3350 I can see it working with that, but NEVER on fish & chips!
@@MatgoStyles Definitely -- utterly wrong
sausage first, mushrooms, tomatos beans fried bread black pudding and eggs last but not flipped
Me getting actually angry when he added hot sauce and flipped the eggs 😅🤣😩😩😩
Omg the eggs being flipped... why 😂😂😂
This video really made me smile though. Love seeing British stuff through the eyes of others!!!
And they always get it wrong. Or make out it’s not as good as theirs. 🤬
flipping the eggs proves you are American, English dont do that
You called black pudding, 'blood sausage'. That's 1 wrong thing immediately
Shoot! 😂
@@WanderingRavens It is a _type_ of blood sausage, though, even if we don't call it that.
Unless he wants to be all Viking and butch by calling it blood pudding 😂 but he just sounds a bit of a dope.
I disagree. I'm from Lancashire and both names are totally acceptable!
@@olorin1.414 but you are also wrong 😛
*EVERY CHEF EVERYWHERE:*
_’Where Was the Seasoning on the Tomatoes & Mushrooms!?!?’_
They threw it onto the eggs instead before they flipped them so that there was no runny yoke to dip toast into.
@@olinpaul 😱😱😱
You may choose to add seasoning, but it's not necessary. This is the full English breakfast, grill or fry a range of pork products, add eggs, beans, tomatoes and mushrooms, toast or fried bread optional. Eat it and then go back to bed, because you'll probably need a lie down.
Red or Brown sauce is needed too, but great effort, you two are so sweet!
That is actually the first time I have ever watched someone turn over eggs in the frying pan! (For next time, try your breakfast with a runny yolk. So much better, especially when you dip the toast into it.)
Over easy is popular in the US, a lot of breakfast places looked at me like I was weird for wanting sunny side up
@@dianef4227 So does over easy mean they turn it over and fry the other side, and sunny side up means you get what any British person would consider to be a normal fried egg?
@@MrDannyDetail yes over easy the yolk is still runny but all the white is definitely cooked. Over hard the yolk is not runny. Uncooked egg white prevents the absorption of the biotin, a B vitamin, in the eggs. Also it tastes unpleasant.
@@toomuchjam I do exactly the same. Or a few seconds under the grill does the same.
I was horrified that someone would ruin eggs like that 😂😂😂
1. Cook all at same time
2. Don't flip the eggs.
3. Slice the shrooms into 3 slices
4. Open bread at the end so not to go stale.
5. Missing hash browns
Thanks for the content
No hash browns... Keep it British!
Welsh and yes missing hash browns.
Yes to all of that except you've got to start the sausages first - fry em slowly so you get a nice bit of caramelisation going. Oh - and no hash browns!
Take the stalks out of the mushrooms, fill with garlic butter then cook slowly with the sausages, the garlic butter cooks the top of the mushroom and tastes delicious.
I’d say eggs can be done to taste. Not everyone likes over easy. *i* wouldn’t flip my eggs.
To answer your question on how often we eat this, personally not that often because its a big old fuss but my mam is an angle and made it every birthday. Also I order it often at weatherspoons
Never flip the eggs 😂
Should've fried the bread as well, but toast isn't a crime.
Toast with plenty of butter.
This One is spot on it is Fried and is placed in the Pan when all the other stuff comes out you may have heard it called a Fried Slice ie a fried slice of bread
Or just plain buttered bread, you need something to mop up the juices.
Next try a roast dinner it’s so stressful to cook but holy moly you guys did a great job! I’m so jealous right now 😅
Thank you!! 😁
Roast dinner s easier , because you can keep things on hold and pour hot gravy on . Fry up is more immediate with timing
yes and then they'll have the leftovers ready for bubble and squeak, its a 2-in-1 video idea win-win situation
My new wife asked me to cook for dinner. when she went on duty as a nurse, that's for us and my two stepsons, no pressure then, I had the things and no idea. but it all worked out, nearly all together
If in doubt ..baked potatoes every time .. always a winner , and a blank canvas to add any toppings you want..good comfort food 😀
Great effort! I cook everything in one pan on a lower heat to cook through and not burn, and so it’s ready at the same time so everything is hot! Start with sausage, then bacon, fried egg, mushroom and tomato. I season my beans and add onions to them. Fry my bread also and a cuppa. Don’t think many ppl have black pudding at home. And pilling up or wrapped in your toast is a must!! Packs the flavour. Fry up Saturday! Avocado is a good add too.
To be fair, I'd have eaten that! A full breakfast these days is more of a treat than a necessity, and the black pudding looked spot on! It's good hangover cure for the morning after the night before! You altos gave the tomatoes and mushrooms more than just a flash in the pan, which so many breakfast outlets / restaurants / cafes just get wrong. A good char is lovely!
If you’re a master of the genre you got for the “one pan fry up”
yup fried bread done last will soak up most of the fat used making clean up easier.
@@deejayy2k I thought I was the only person who did it like that! Congratulations, you're right lol 😄
You should of cooked it in the oven. Apart from the beans and the egg
Gotta do it all in one pan to make it quick enough and not as much hassle
2 pans as one is gf and it stops contamination
Cheese NO, Spinach NO and it's Black Pudding ffs 😂
yeah that's one way to put it
😜
Nah - you should try the spinach - it's really nice and goes well with the eggs and tomatoes to balance the meat.
@@DaveF. Spinach makes everything better, or at least, adds nutrition without even knowing it's there. I go through a bag a day, just throwing handfuls into everything.
brown sauce goes on the sausages, and or bacon, we upt north tend to make a bacon butty, with tomato sauce for the best, but brown sauce is just as good. we never add salt and pepper or flip eggs.the mushrooms are best sliced into small strips, and fried, the fry up is supposed to give you energy for the day instant energy then usually a mealat 6 after a hard days work, maybe something at 1pm
I eat this as dinner sometimes. And you need to add hash browns!!
It was going so well until you flipped the eggs 🥺
And then you added "hot sauce". And Grace wanted cheese. No. Not ever. That's not English.
+1
I have no problem with a flip , but...... It no more than like 10 seconds max !!!! You want a runny egg
STOP putting metal things in the non-stick pan!!
You will damage the coating.
Where was the fried bread?
Beans on toast also known as skinheads on a raft. Welsh breakfast can include laverbread. Our breakfasts were great (The Old Bakery in Henllan) but our tearoom is closed until sometime in 2021, however shops still open.
In my house we would not normally flip the egg, we would keep the yolk on the top then we dip our toast in it. I do think you need a toast rack so that the toast goes/stays crispy and crunchy. Also in our house we would use tomato sauce, Ketchup, on bacon and brown sauce with sausages.
HP sauce definitely go's on sausage and bacon. Not a bad attempt.
Daddy's brown sauce HP source is no longer British (made in Britain) cheaper to be made in poland. How wrong now!
@@phillip2010cowley Daddies is Polish made , HP is Netherlands
Use ketchup, if you prefere, some "purists" might bust a blood vessel, nuts it's your breakfast, do it your way!
@@Justin-ny6un HP was originally 'Houses of Parliament' and the sauce used to be made in Aston, Birmingham until the overvaluation of Stirling drove production abroad. Real men use Worcester Sauce but save it for fish and chips not breakfast.
The main error is that ideally you should eat a full English breakfast with a massive hangover. It is the absolute best hangover cure.
this was brilliant. i used to work in a café for a few years so I'd eat that everyday but it's different from person to person. i prefer tinned tomatoes compared to normal tomatoes and i would have added some fried bread as well, some people have bubble and squeak which is traditionally made from left over mashed potatoes and cabbage from a sunday roast. other than the eggs the breakfast looked pretty good but i would have crisped up the bacon a bit more and put the beans on first so they cook slow and low to create what i like to call a bean reduction, also your sausage and bacon will be warmer when you eat it.
You should prick the sausage a few times before cooking, maybe a slight slice down the middle. And cook on a low to middle heat. The idea of a breakfast is getting it right so everything comes together in the same pan at the end. It just takes practice. Going back to sausages, I always have one in the pan as a taster to cut bits off and taste as I go.
"Cheers" ?!?! It's a mug of tea, not a bloody pint! 🤦♂️😆
So ?
Picky much we say cheers on both occasions
It was a joke.
Leave them alone
@@Matt463634 Haha I think you managed to get through the above commenters' layers of bubble wrap! 😂
Ah Yorkshire tea, the drink of the gods
Delicious stuff!
Yorkshire tea, drink of the Gods. Ah, my worthy rival, Lancashire tea God of the drinks.
@@griffinreader6207 Nah. Drink Loose tea or get out.
We drink Ringtons Tea
@@darrellbruh1335 never tired it. I usually stick with twinings, english breakfast though my collection is going strong
I cook my full English at home mostly in the oven and finish them all off together on a low heat in the pan.
Hash brown, bacon, sausage, in the oven for 20 minutes. Prep the scrambled egg mixture, I do my beans in the microwave to heat them up in a mug to save on washing up. I substitute fried tomato for tinned. They're amazing! You bite into it and it just turns into a nice tomato soup in your mouth. Again, just heated in the microwave in a mug to save washing up.
2 eggs scrambled, 2 irish breakfast sausages, 2 smoked back bacon rashers, 2 home style hash browns, 2 tinned tomatoes, good ladle of beans, and a slice of fried slice. (Bread fried in remaining grease in pan)
Typically once the sausages start to cook, I cut them almost in half lengthways and brown them off spatchcocked.
Use the remaining grease in the pan that's kept everything hot while prepping the meal to fry a slice of bread. Its glorious.
Great effort at the full English breakfast - a national institution. Personally, I don't have it as often as I would like - takes too long to make and too much washing up afterwords but when staying in a hotel, for example, you automatically choose the full English breakfast and enjoy the fact that someone else has the hassle of making it. Another option is to visit a cheap cafe, affectionately known as 'a greasy spoon' and enjoy breakfast for a fiver or less. There are many regional variations. In Scotland, for example, as some of your viewers have said, we like Lorne sausage aka square sausage and potation scones with our 'full Scottish' and also, of course, the ubiquitous haggis. Hash browns are pretty much a standard item in England and Scotland. As some have said fried bread is also good. Personally once it's fried I like to splash it with a liberal amount of malt vinegar - it softens the bread and takes away the greasy taste. A piping hot mug of tea is also a must for cutting through the grease. Brown sauce is very popular and most people favour HP. You might also care to try Branston Pickle. I would say (or my palette would) that the best tasting sausages and bacon on the market come from Ireland and the tastiest black pudding comes from Stornoway in Scotland. If you like the black pudding then you should try a black pudding supper from a chip shop where the pudding is deep fried in batter - sheer heaven. Someone mentioned spinach - yuk - there should be nothing green, or healthy, on the plate!
Instead of toast I like to fry the bread in the bacon fat, it's amazing! Great when having just a bacon butty too.
bacon butty with fried bread - Mmmm heaven!!
My wife does fried toast? well she was born in Kenya so she makes up her own versions of the British food ( most of them very nice).
Sounds delicious!!
My favourite customisation is something we often do on Christmas Day, when you want to have special breakfast but not eat a lot because there are other celebration meals to be eaten. We call it "little big breakfast" - it's a full English, miniaturised, so … quail eggs, cherry tomatoes, cocktail sausages, slices of bread cut from a hot-dog roll and so on. Serve it on a saucer with a shot-glass of orange juice and you feel like a giant eating a regular breakfast!
I love the sound of that.. you get to enjoy all the amazing flavours of a proper breakfast and still have room for Christmas dinner.. must try that !!
Alan Lake The hardest part at first for me was cracking quail eggs without destroying them. Eventually I figured to saw into them with a serrated knife (I use a grapefruit knife but a junior hacksaw would probably be good) until I can pull them apart with my thumbnails.
@@nodroGnotlrahC Good tip.. thanks
Omg that's so cute! Going to try that brekkie xx
Gordon hear is as also to as youll get its the sort of thing you have the morning after a night out say for example a Stag or Hen Night or any other sort of occasion some people have it more than others it was often some thing you had on the way to football others it was say on Boxing Day some even did it on a Saturday as a treat its the fact we have Butties roles and pieces (sandwiches) that all get mixes of these placed on them which brings in the RED or Brown saws debate
For health reasons I always grill the sausages and bacon, most of the fat drops into the grill pan and not into your arteries and of course, no added oil. I also use back bacon instead of streaky because it's leaner. You didn't do it wrong, it's just a health choice you can make and they taste just as good grilled. You can also grill the tomato halves. Overall you did a pretty good job, the end result looked like the fry-up you'd get in an English cafe. We tend to prefer our eggs sunny-side up but hey, whatever suits. HP brown sauce is the best so you got the right one, it's best with the sausages and bacon.
Brown sauce deffo HP and yea eat it with everything except the mushrooms and black pudding and tomatoes. I always eat brown sauce with fry up, and also with cheese on toast or cheese and beans on toast.
I probly eat fry up like every month or two... Can't be bothered to make it often... And I don't often eat it actually in the morning... I have for brunch, lunch, or dinner at night xxx
brown sauce is for the sausages, Toms: cut them the other way and cook 'em slower, should be so soft that the skin are nearly black and just slips off...BUT still looked like a good plate and yummy to me. (and NO NO NO to spinach..sorry.)
I use brown sauce for almost everything. Bacon, sausage, ham, eggs, chips etc
We have a full English at least once a week but we use to grill or air fryer to do it all apart from the eggs, which are fried in a lot more oil and we don't turn the egg, we flick the hot oil over the egg with a spatula to seal the yolk. That way the yolk stays runny but cooked.
A few pointers being from England. The blood sausage is called black pudding. I use Cumberland or Lincolnshire sausages and generally bake in the oven with the bacon and black pudding. Ketchup is the sauce we use not brown, although this is normally a preferred taste and the tomatoes are normally chopped tinned ones for us. Sometimes we have a hash brown as well. The only thing I fry is the eggs( sunny side up) We only cook this on a weekend and maybe only once or twice a month.
Enjoy
This Women is close to preparing every thing Posh style not wrong But as the original idea was to use one pan to make as much as you could its a we bit off most people try to get it done fast so for example Posh Bacon ie bacon placed on a baking tray covered with tin foil the tin foil is folded over the bacon and a on a baking tray on top a sort of sandwich in then placed in a hot oven to cock be careful cooks quick
But to be Fair to Amanda scrambled egg was/ is often a fried egg alternative as is the Posh poached egg in fact a lot of places when they ask how you want your egg that's what they are asking
Tomato is an alternative but brown is way better a hash brown is a very modern (American) addition if you need the Potato get a tatty scone and stay in side UK of things
The "blood sausages" are called black pudding.
Thank you!
Yes, black pudding. ‘Blood sausage’ sounds horrendous. I do like a bit of black pudding with a breakfast though.
I have to add that not all black puddings are created equal. There are definitely supremely delicious versions and others that are just meh. Clonakilty black pudding is the best by a milestone but you might have to come back over to NI to find that, not sure if it's available in England. The one you bought looks a little solid, not very crumbly, and i
I find those types quite flavourless so perhaps why it tasted of tortilla, too much binder ingredient to make it cheaper to produce.
Yay, I know when they kept calling black pudding/blood pudding, blood sausages I was like saying in my head it called black pudding.
@@lindaclark7 yes, I turned my nose up at it for years,
then
I was working putting pilings under falling down stuff (digging holes)
that is when you understand the point of a builders breakfast.
The best sausages I ever ate have been from farm shops. I always keep an eye out when travelling past farms for them.
You've made the locals feel hungry!
The way we customise it in Yorkshire is putting it in a gaint plate sized teacake (bread roll) called a breakfast flatcake
Wait Americans really switch their cutlery around every time?? That takes so long!
We do!! And it does! 😂
We should have sent more toffs to the colonies back in the day
We lefties don’t.
I don’t mind the Brit way of using forks for many foods but how do you handle peas, rice and other such smallies..??
@@larrybothe8246 with a fork?? How else??
Despite being called a fry-up, when it comes to Sausages, I always cook mine in the oven. They don't burn and by the time they've cooked, so have all the other items. Also, fried eggs are traditionally placed on top of fried bread. In the Royal Navy, they call that 'Chicken-on-a-raft'.
Not forgetting Shit on a Raft either!
I do the same
Yes, I've been doing the same for a while, roast your sausages on a bed of thinly sliced onions. No oil/fat needed, what comes out of the sausages will do the job.
good job and here are a few observations. 1) sausages are not burning they are browning and that is good 2) i would slice the mushrooms and fry them with oil and finely chopped garlic 3) bacon could have been done a little more but that is personal preference 4) i would fry the bread and add in some hash browns
its rare that I get decent black pudding in the south east , the best comes from the north , either lancashire and Yorkshire , the type you're cooking looks like the large Scottish variety .
as far as beans , I add smoked paprika , and mixed herbs etc .
sausages are usually from local butchers , if supermarket ones , then any decent Cumberland or Lincolnshire .
although sometimes , mix it up a bit and have French Toulouse sausages which are superb or german bratwurst
"Hungry Ravens"? - surely that should be "ravenous Ravens"!
You're right!! We'll say that next time 😂
@@WanderingRavens Please make a video about things that are different than you expected in the UK, and if anything disappointed/pleasantly surprised you :)
Your sausages are fine if they aren’t slightly charred then they ain’t english
Good to know 😂
Absolutely true
Did a great job, just forgot the fried bread! Also you turned over the eggs whereas I think pretty much everyone here would have as yokey an egg as possible.
Bacon looked under-cooked to me
As someone once said to me, as a general guide: “if it’s brown, it’s cooked. If it’s black, it’s f**ked!”
As for Sausages, the brand I buy is: ‘Heck’ The Sausages contain 97% Pork, rather than the much lower percentages found in
other brands. Obviously, I have no idea which Supermarket serve the area where you are presently located, I believe Heck are sold in Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Co-Op, Sainsbury’s, Ocado and of course Waitrose. They are also dairy and gluten free. By the way, your breakfast looked delicious, as well as toast - try fried bread.

You don't have to fry everything grill some things and should all be hot at the same time of seving.usually eaten once a week mainly Saturday morning. Enjoy
A full English breakfast is very similar to a full Irish breakfast, there is some minor differences. The key to enjoying the breakfast is to try and get a combination of all the flavours on a fork full , a little bit of everything together is what makes it special. Give it a try like that and it will be a different experience. I only have the full breakfast once or twice a year ☺👍
Grace: "I would add cheese". And that's how we found out who's the americanest of them all.
😂😂
Cheese? For breakfast with a fry up? OMG!
+1
This should be fun, personally I tend to cook my Sausages and tomatoes under the grill rather than in a pan. Mushrooms are best chopped then cooked on a low heat in a saucepan with some butter. All in all, I wouldnt be disappointed if I was served that, so good job! (I worked in the kitchen at a cafe that did lots of fry ups so I've got a fair bit of experience here)
Thank you for the tips! We'll take all the pointers you can throw our way :D
No worries, you can improve the tomatoes by baking or grilling with a bit of olive oil and some mixed herbs. I tend to use cherry tomatoes and cook them until they split, but that's just me. Please don't add cheese though! One of the things I noticed when I was last in the states was that they put cheese in everything. Most will probably disagree but I do like some hot sauce with a fry up, especially if it's at a wetherspoons
Absolutely. Grill as much as possible. Some like tomato ketchup or brown sauce. However if you add hot sauce or, God forbid, spinach you will need to leave the country! Keep safe.
Try bubble and sqeak with it. Some people have been Brown's or chips.
good effort! you'r right, it all goes on at once, it's called a fry up but I mostly grill it all, poach the eggs and fry as little as I can to be "healthy" it costs us about $8-$9 of you cash at a "GREASY SPOON" cafe or road side truck stop, so at most once a week for me depending on my work load.
HP sauce stands for "Houses of parliament" to make it an English breakfast.
That will keep you going until about 5:30 when you get your "tea" (northern English expression")
the one thing i miss out of my fry up is black pudding and i cut the fat off the bacon but other than that i have sausages, smoked bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, fried bread or toast depending on which i want at the time along with a pint of pure orange juice because i don't drink hot drinks. oh yes Brown sauce / HP, its illegal to put ketchup on a fry up as well as not having a runny egg lol.
But the Sausage and bacon i do under the grill lining the tray with tin foil.
You should try boiled egg and soldiers its a very very simple to make but delicate at the same time because if you over boil the eggs then you cant use the solders.
Tip I was taught about cooking sausages is cook on lower heat for longer so they don’t dry out or burn
The best time to have an English breakfast is the morning after a good drinking session the night before as it's a great hangover cure.
Sometimes tho you fancy one at tea time
You's should try the Scottish version with haggis/vegetarian haggis, tattie scones and square sausage. I'd also recommend stovies.
in Scotland theres a slight alternative we add square sausage that you dont get in England and potato scone ( different from and english scone) irish use potato scones also
You can grill most of the components for a healthier version.
@John Smith Haven't had fried bread for years!
Get out.
Definitely. I use Canelli Beans with tinned baby tomatoes (with a splash of honey and mixed herbs) for homemade baked beans. Pouched eggs on fresh bread (toasted). Mushrooms, Black Pudding, thick Lincolnshire or Turkey Sausages (grilled), Back Bacon (grilled), Tomatoes (grilled with a tiny splash of balsamic and a sprinkle of sugar on top). Then fried bread (but with olive oil and a faint hint of garlic). nom nom nom nom nom nom.
@John Smith o
As much as I appreciate this English breakfast representation, that is a VERY nice kitchen
In different parts of the UK 🇬🇧 the cooked breakfast contains different items for example Scotland add a Lorne sausage which is a square sausage. In Northern Ireland they add potato bread/scone (Scottish people also add potato scones) and soda bread and may remove items such as the mushrooms, tomato and black pudding (or as you guys refer to blood sausage).
So, I use Cumberland sausages, grill till no pink bits then keep warm in a low oven
Grill smoked back bacon, put in oven with sausages
Slice and fry the mushrooms in oil and butter
Fry the eggs (don’t flip them though)
Fry the bread instead of toasting
Heat the beans
Dump it all on plate and serve with some bread and flora spread
You were doing fine until you mentioned flora.
Beans on toast with grated cheese.....quick and easy and lush.... but your brekkie is deffo looking the part, apart from the hot sauce....!!! Fry up after the night before to recover.....not necessarily a 5 days a week job - but couple of times a week / weekend got to be done... BTW HP is the only brown sauce and Heinz is the only tomato sauce....there are no others - that's the law !!!!!
And I'm hungry now - wanting a fry up.....thanks !
So glad you approve of our fry up!! :D
Chop sauce ftw
Beans on toast with cheese and a tiny amount of chilli. It's amazing.
daddies sauce is better for non-breakfast related saucing
@@rach_laze - 'ere we go..... daddies red sauce is a desperation sauce only when you can't find or get Heinz....there is no comparison, at all, ever, period.
That English breakfast looks AMAZING!!!!
I haven't had one in about a year, but I hopefully I can have one this Sunday!
So glad you approved!! It was delicious :D
Cumberland sausages, smoked bacon, fried bread (deep fat fry bread and dry out), sliced mushrooms (fried ofc), sliced onion fried, tomatoes chopped in half, hash browns (is a shredded potato and onion egg flour mix, can buy them made here not sure if same there, is why I've listed what they are made from), toast, baked beans, blood sausage, fried egg. Use brown sauce (brand is hp). Jobs a good-un, enjoy.
Where did you get tomatoes and mushrooms from never had that and it’s black pudding
Eric and Grace, I'm probably one of your older subscribers and as such can remember a time just after the war when most women would give up their jobs when they got married to become full time housewives and mothers. As such they had more time in the mornings to prepare a more elaborate breakfast than most of us do these days. Most mornings my mother would cook eggs and bacon and fried bread, followed by toast and marmalade. She would add variety to the bacon and eggs by adding black pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes etc, but never all at once. I suspect a tourist wandered into a 'greasy spoon' café early one morning and wanted to try all the strange English food items. And the café owner seeing a business opportunity developed the full English breakfast and things took off from there!
ANYBODY remember Les Kellett the wrestler? He had his own cafe in Yorks somwhere. Anybody brave enough to eat there?
The full English actually comes from grand Victorian breakfasts. They would serve many things together an people would plate what they liked. This slowly evolved into the fry up we know today.
Great job on the Full English. The beauty of it is that you can (as with other things) tweak it to your requirements.
For me, brown sauce on the meats, tinned tomatoes - fresh ones have a snotty texture when fried, sliced mushrooms.
There will always be howls of outrage, however you prepare it because it's a personal thing.
I would definitely eat what you made. You are no longer Americans (official)
@rxp56 Booooo! Team tinned toms all the way babyyy!!
Even though its called a fry up, the main ingredients are grilled or baked, namely sausage, bacon,black pudding and tomatoes
Eggs are fried in a good amount of hot oil and the oil is flicked over the egg until cooked you do not flip the egg, when the eggs are cooked then you add bread to the same oil until lightly brown on both sides, this should have soaked up a lot of oil so place bread on kitchen towel or in toast rack to drain,
Drain off remaining oil from frying pan and empty a tin of chopped tomatoes into it, season to taste and let simmer, stirring occasionally then poor onto whatever's gone coldest and enjoy
The best sausages can usually be found at your local butchers or large supermarkets that have a butchers counter
Hope that helps
As a full on britisher, I think you’ve done extremely well. A most excellent posh fry up. You can indeed make a healthy version. You can mix up the eggs by replacing with scrambled eggs or a cheese omelette ;)
I do my Sausages and Bacon in the oven.
Leaves more room on the Hobs for frying other stuff.
And cuts down on the oil use.
Can’t be a proper breakfast without a Lorne sausage (or as the non Scottish call it square sausage)
Aw I used to luv square sausage xx
Not English, so not part of a Full English breakfast
Or slice lol 😂
@@neuralwarp That`s like saying Fish and Chips are English or Roast Beef is English the Basic idea of the breakfast was one that started with working class people in cafes close to markets (and latter truck stops see above) in major metropolitan areas like London or Birmingham or Glasgow its why as we see hear there are regional variations on a them So to Keep you happy maybe we should use the term UKGBNI Breakfast with local variations No wonder the Yanks get a shock when the try any were out side London and see the real England Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland. Next you'll be telling me its not a pastie unless its from Cornwall or that a plowman's has to have English cheddar chess crnwell is a type of pastie and plowman's was a meal a plowman if he was very lucky may have eaten any were were people were ploughing
Totally agree but, it's a moot point, as it's an English breakfast. I'll see your Lorne sausage and raise you an onion Lorne...Mmmm....cannae beat it!
I made some notes (to quote Alan Partridge):
1. Brown sauce goes on everything. However not everyone likes it. The alternative is Ketchup.
2. You forgot Hash Browns!
3. The Sausages cook better on a lower heat but for longer
4. The best English breakfasts use tinned plum tomatoes
5. You could also add a fried slice (fried bread), although I personally don't really like that.
6. You could also try adding White Pudding, which is more of an Irish thing, but can be included in an "English" breakfast. I think its nicer than black pudding
7. Good effort overall. As so much is cooking at once, its not an easy thing to make without experience!
In Scotland we have a fry up like that but we also have Tattie (potato) scones,fruit pudding and French toast (eggy bread) added to it.
I prefer my full english mostly grilled these days and got to throw a couple of hash browns on there
No hash browns try Tatty Scones in stead way better
no place for hash browns on english breakfast
Sliced cooked potatoes fried. 👍🏽
Most people in England have their eggs “sunny side up” rather than “easy over” but it’s still a personal choice.
In my experience most people like the egg White fully cooked, but the yolk runny. Best way to get that is to flip it and allow the top to cook for about 40 seconds. I think the yanks call that "over, easy" (flipped and runny).
Sunny side up, no snot for me. Just splash a bit of hot fat on it.
Yep, eggs need to be cooked with real butter ideally and I turn them over in the pan for ten seconds with the heat off.
Sunny side up almost always for me.
You are missing hash browns! Fried bread is a nice addition, especially smothered with the beans! Leave the yolk of the egg a little runny to dip your sausage in! The BLACK PUDDING was overcooked! The best black pudding comes from a town in the North West of England called 'Bury' Also, for me the bacon has to be smoked bacon. I like most sausages but Sausage with Leek inside them is nice on a full English!
I have a fry up at least once a week but will shake it up by having my eggs different each time. (Scrambled, fried, poached)
I also oven cook my sausages and grill my bacon. Everything else is fried!
Not a bad attempt though guys! 👍
Brown sauce is usually used with sausages although I prefer tomato sauce. I rarely use brown.
Watching you two - this is why I only have a full English in a cafe or on holiday. Too much going on to do it myself 😋
Makes sense - it's a chore to cook! But my what a pleasure to eat :D
Yeah but would cost about 10 quid for the stuff they cooked lol
Workmans (persons) cafe is best. A regular when I worked on water utilities.
@@WanderingRavens I think most people eat out! Usually under £5, far too much hassle to make at home, and so many pots!
You did really well, guys. I would have called your bacon "back bacon". I actually grill or oven cook most of mine, but I am with others here, too much faff to make at home. Best from a cafe, where you can choose what you want on your breakfast,
Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsey are quaking in their boots 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I don't usually do a full English because it's far too much effort for a breakfast and I don't often have time for it; I play football on a Saturday morning and go to church on a Sunday and I don't particularly like getting up early to make it so just end up having cereal. A full English is often reserved for a meal out, either for breakfast or for lunch as an "all day breakfast".
If I do have a full English, I love hash browns and don't particularly like mushrooms so would swap the 2 over. Also, a tin of tomatoes is an alternative to a griddled tomato and I would swap between the 2 easily. Same goes for scrambled egg vs fried egg, I like both but wouldn't have both on the same plate. A lot of people have fried bread instead of toast but I'm not a massive fan and much prefer toast. I don't think sauce is necessary if you've got baked beans and tinned tomatoes but with a griddled tomato I would go for brown sauce.
If I was going to make a "full" English at home, I would remove a few items to make it easier to cook and go with the following:
Sausages
Bacon
Toast
Baked beans
Fried eggs
Hash browns
A tomato/tin of tomatoes is another pan, scrambled egg requires a jug so more dishes used and I'm the only one in my house who likes black pudding so it's not worth getting it just for myself unless it's being cooked for me in a restaurant/cafe. It's not quite everything in a full English but I think it's the best ratio of things I like the most to effort required to cook it/wash up afterwards.
All in all you have both done a pretty amazing job, we call blood sausage black pudding (not for me) we also sometimes use canned tomatoes rather than fresh & also add hash browns & we just have it when we fancy it, not on set days, also it does not necessarily have to be for Breakfast & believe it or not we do have other brands of tea rather than Yorkshire tea :) Great job guys.
Good effort you two! My wife and I tend to grill the meat rather than fry as it's healthier, also we have scrambled eggs instead (just personal preference). Usually you cut the mushrooms up smaller and fry them in butter.
You can also use the oven to keep everything warm if you're struggling to juggle everything.
We don't have it very often, usually if on holiday (B&B's and hotels tend to serve them as standard) or maybe a couple times a year. Its more often than we do a "mini fry up" which is just bacon eggs and toast.
Most greasy spoon restaurants tend fry everything in a pan, however I tend to grill my sausages for best results. I choose Cumberland or Lincolnshire sausages. Also good to chop mushrooms into quarters. I have my breakfast with hash browns, and without the blood pudding. Brown and red sauces usually used with the meats. Great to have for a hangover!
Good bangers with a touch of herbs, them ones. :thumbsup
It's the only proven cure for a hangover 😂
In Scotland, you might have tattie scone, lorne sausage and haggis. Stornoway black pudding is best - it doesn't have the white bits in it.. It can be consumed in cafes most days by manual workers such as building labourers; but most people would have it less often - that said, many places offer breakfast rolls, which are buttered bread rolls containing one or more of the items - bacon rolls are very popular. Some parts of the country have other names for these, such as 'barms'. Breakfast alternatives can included steamed fish - especially kippers; and porridge is often served as an alternative to cereal in Scotland. tea or coffee is the usual breakfast drink, but fresh orange juice, fruit, yoghurt, cereals and muesli are often served as a first course, before the main fry-up... likewise, toast is often unlimited and thickly spread with butter and jam, marmalade or a yeast extract called marmite. Cafes often allow you to choose your own items, or have everything available as a self-service buffet. They don;t call us the cholesterol capital of Europe for no reason
As a man who carries a few extra pounds, I know my way around a fry up.
Firstly. You needed more food on the plate. It’s a 3 sausage / 3 rasher minimum for sure.
Bacon had to be crispier + needs to be smoked bacon otherwise it’s just hot ham 🤣
Those sausages were getting there. You could have still cooked them for longer tbh. The caramelisation on the outside is the best part... if you had kept them in a pan off the heat, they would have been perfect. Sausages looked like a decent thick sausage which is the most important thing - don’t skimp on the price of a good sausage!
Black pudding I’ll have once every few months...not burnt at all....deceivingly takes longer than you think.,,. . I like to add the fat juices from the sausages / bacon / BP into my baked beans to give them a more meaty flavour. I’m partial to cheesy beans too so ignore the others, load up the cheddar whilst you’re cooking . Ignore those who say brown sauce, I’ll stick to ketchup thanks.
No spinach. Not allowed. Nothing green allowed near a fry up. If you want spinach, you go for poached eggs. Save that for Sunday brunch.
What you are lacking is 100% you need potatoes to help soak up the Alcohol from the night before. A fry up is a perfect hangover cure. That’s why it’s mostly eaten on a weekend. Hash browns ideal but cafes up and down the country will serve it with chips too, although not something I’d go for at home.
Flipping eggs is ok as long as you keep the egg just runny enough so it oozes when you dip your sausage.
As I’m from London, toast is acceptable. A fried slice is more of a northern thing but never whole meal bread. White bread only for a fry up. It’s a vehicle for the fry up after all.
Apart from that. I’d go for a big glass of OJ on the side and a cup of tea.
Good effort.
